The random variable \(Y\) is the sum of two independent observations of the random variable \(X\). The probability generating function \(\mathrm{G}_{Y}(t)\) of \(Y\) is given by

(a) Find \(E(Y)\).
(b) Write down an expression for the probability generating function of \(X\).
(c) Find \(\mathrm{P}(X=4)\).
